The genome sequence of a type ST239 methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus isolate from a Malaysian hospital

We report the genome sequence of a healthcare-associated MRSA type ST239 clone isolated from a patient with septicemia in Malaysia. This clone typifies the characteristics of ST239 lineage, including resistance to multiple antibiotics and antiseptics.
